ABSTRACT
A certain number of rapprochements and hypotheses have been put forward in the course of this work. Emmanuel Levinas had an intuition of this in Totality and Infinity, where he writes, “(Love) is passion and trouble, a constant initiation into a mystery rather than initiative; the capacity for transfiguration depends, then, on the essential passivity of the subject on his being moved, on his effemination”. F. Coblence writes, The great originality of Levinas’ thought was that he tried to give prominence to the encounter with the other not only in the experience of love but also at the basis of ethical relations. In the Project, Sigmund Freud alluded to the first origin of ethics: At first the human organism is incapable of bringing about the specific action. It takes place by extraneous help, when the attention of an experienced person is drawn to the child’s state by discharge along the path of internal change.
